		<description><![CDATA[
If you&#8217;re vacationing on Hawaii (which I highly recommend), you might think you&#8217;re already having a hell of a good time.  But there&#8217;s always room for chocolate, and the Original Hawaiian Chocolate factory is there to make life a little more complete.
Before I go on I have to get this out of the way: &#8220;Original [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Valrhona has given their Grand Cru retail line (that&#8217;s single origin chocolate bars, for any rookies out there) a makeover.  Personally I prefer oblong bars to squares, but otherwise this is a pretty sexy design.  Valrhona&#8217;s retail bars have gotten kind of scattered in terms of marketing and packaging; it would be nice to see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I picked up this little Amedei at the Chocolate Show in NYC and set it aside for a moment when I wanted some really decent chocolate.  I was setting myself up for disappointment.  I&#8217;m very fond of some of Amedei&#8217;s bars, but this Trinidad (70%) tastes like it was made from a barnyard animal.
The smell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No one has gone unaffected by the economic crisis in which we find ourselves.  In times like these, chocolate enthusiasts may find themselves facing tough choices.  For some of us, giving up what has become an expensive chocolate habit is not an option.  Neither is a $30 Porcelana bar.  Where can a cash-strapped chocolate lover [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, we all knew it was coming, right?  Hershey has demonstrated how much the Scharffen Berger name means to them: they&#8217;re closing the Berkeley plant and moving all Scharffen Berger operations to Illinois.
Hershey&#8217;s role in the &#8220;Artisan Confections Co.&#8221; (Scharffen Berger, Joseph Schmidt, Dagoba) has been low key since the big buy outs.  I watched [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to a generous friend who just visited from Washington, I&#8217;ve had a chance to sample Theo&#8217;s bonbons (their shelf life does not allow for them to be sold nationally).  It&#8217;s a rare thing&#8230;er, kind of&#8230;for a bean-to-bar company to make bonbons as well.  Typically a company that specializes in bars doesn&#8217;t have the resources [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chocolate produced in the country of origin is a trend we&#8217;ve been seeing more of.  A few years ago I could only name one retail chocolate produced in a cacao growing nation; now I can think of several without trying too hard.  The latest to come under my radar is Madecasse, a company founded by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I heard at the Chocolate Show that Theo was releasing a line of snacky confections, I was excited.

I find their 3400 Phinney line of flavored bars more interesting than their handful of single origins, and judging by this move into confectionery, I&#8217;m not the only one.  Theo has demonstrated a knack for combining flavors [...]]]></description>
